FC Bayern’s 1:5 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt continues to have an impact. In addition to coach Tuchel, Lothar Matthäus particularly criticizes Joshua Kimmich. There is too little of this: in the game, but also afterwards. The record national player believes he knows why that is.

Lothar Matthäus harshly criticized the FC Bayern players after the heavy 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt. Above all, the behavior of two men is a thorn in the side of the record national player. It’s about coach Thomas Tuchel and national player Joshua Kimmich. This one would literally disappear.

Immediately after the game on Saturday, only Thomas Müller, who was a late substitute, answered reporters’ questions from the Bayern team. Later in the evening, Leon Goretzka visited the “Current Sports Studio” and was there to answer questions. But nothing was heard from leading player Kimmich. According to Matthew, this is not possible.

“Not only is he no longer as present on the pitch, he is also no longer as present after the game,” said Matthäus on Sky: “He is hiding.” Kimmich “actually always was someone – at least six months ago or year – who clearly expressed his opinion to the camera even after losing games”.

Matthäus believes he knows why the midfielder, who scored the only goal for FC Bayern in Frankfurt, is no longer doing so: “Kimmich has really gotten a lot of heat in the last two years – including from us, because he just doesn’t “He delivered what we expected from him.” Tuchel also publicly questioned Kimmich in the summer through his demands for a new central defensive midfielder (“Holding Six”). All of this probably “left its mark.”

“I can react after five minutes,” says Matthäus

Matthäus also reacted critically to Tuchel’s statements. After the game he stated that after reading the score sheet he had expected a different Frankfurt defensive formation. Therefore, shortly before kick-off, he may have “given his team too much information” and set them up for a five-man defense instead of a four-man defense.

“This statement surprised me the most. If I’m just preparing for one system, I’ve forgotten to do something these days,” said Matthäus: “I can’t use that as an excuse.” Bayern have to force their game on the opponent regardless of their formation. So it wasn’t the Frankfurt system, but the attitude of Bayern Munich: “I can react after five minutes to what I didn’t address before.”
